2024 Residency at nokomis montessori magnet school

Marie Olofsdotter taught a poetry and bookmaking residency at Nokomis Montessori’s North campus this May! The students had a lot of fun using their imaginations to create their own works of art with the help of Marie. Here is a photo she took of one student showing off his tiger!

2024 Residency at Txuj Ci HMong Language and Culture ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!

Puppeteer Mark Safford showed off his talents by bringing his handcrafted puppet costumes to Txuj Ci HMong Language and Culture. Adapted from The Little Red Hen, Mark and the elementary school students put on a performance about the importance of working together with fun animal costumes. Below are some photos of the students performing!

The East Side Arts Council actively looks for ways to employ local artists and to bring them into the classroom environment.

 

Arts InFusion is ESAC's award-winning program that uses the arts to boost learning of core curriculum.  Using an innovative working method, ESAC brings arts integration residencies and projects to East Side schools.  

We currently provide residencies for Txuj Ci HMong Language and Culture, Highwood Hills Academy, Hope Community Academy, Nokomis Montessori North Campus, and Creative Arts Secondary School.
